    Flying an fpv quadcopter. Actually the whole hobby. Not talking DJI. Building, programming and inevitably fixing them. Flying them in acro mode is not easy. Come to think of it, line of sight is even harder.

    Turning when you’re riding on a jetski and about to be in a head on collision.

    Most people will panic and let off the gas to turn, but the jet ski isn’t going to be able to turn much unless you’re actually giving it some throttle.

    Most things. People underestimate the labor, time, complexity, obstacles that most jobs involve. We are wildly optimistic.

    Playing the harmonica.

    Your mouth cavity forms part of the instrument (like the body of an acoustic guitar) so you need to precisely control your lips, tongue, jaw, etc on top of the usual embouchure skills that you need for a wind instrument, while also being sure to only use the hole/holes you want. You get different notes when you blow and draw (suck), so you must control your breath so the note doesn’t squeak - unless you’re doing that on purpose, which lets you play notes outside the key of that particular harmonica. You also need to balance your in and out breaths so you don’t get too full or empty of air (a few notes have both in and out options to help with this).

    I’m very bad at the harmonica.

    Finding the will to get out of bed in the morning. For twenty years I’ve gone to work 40 or more hours a week and honestly I just can’t seem to find a care to do it anymore. I’m sure it’s tied to depression or not being happy in my life or some shit but really it just seems easier some days to say why not just end it and not stress about being late on rent or having some awkward conversation telling someone you were sick and you know you shouldnt be missing days but really the work is just not fulfilling so I have no drive to keep doing it.

      I get like this if I have a good weekend, trip or vacation. It’s supposedly supposed to make you feel better in life but for me the stress beforehand (if it’s a big trip) and the depression afterward almost make it easier to bury my head in work and not peak too far outside my little bubble.

        Not quite, I’m the mirrored version you see when you look in the mirror, except I must say the mirror must be fogged because it says lady in your name, so you’d have to be squinting hard. My beard is a bit hard to mistake, lol. Hope you find some sort of spark in your life soon that starts to make things better, I really need to find a new line of work probably.

    Digital music production. Making a tune is easy, making it sound good and well balanced is a bitch.

    It varies from person to person.

    I can build a house from start to finish and figure it all out easily. I can rebuild a car pretty easy too. Computer hardware and networking stuff is no problem. I started navigating the us with nothing but maps (pre internet access availability for me) at 16 and have driven all over since. I excel in spatial relations from what I’m told.

    I don’t understand nouns, verbs, adverbs, or anything that goes along with it but can speak and write clearly. Learning languages is a pita. Same goes for programming. Interacting with people outside of certain things in person makes me cringe. Interacting on the phone is worse unless I know someone, I’m currently still using my wife’s debit card to access my bank account 7 years after she passed because I have to call the bank to fix mine and I can’t stand the thought.

      If you don’t think mudding and taping drywall is more difficult than it seems, I’m impressed (and a little disbelieving).
